Any ways to promote fingernail growth?

I slammed my finger a few weeks ago and it looks like I'll lose my fingernail completely. Is thier anything I can do to help the nail grow back faster? Should I keep it covered constantly or leave it to the air?

    Eat Jello made with goat's milk and peanut butter.

    When the nail does fall off you might need to put a dressing/plaster on for a days just to protect it, I would leave it in the air after that so it heals.

    Calcium is good for nails (I drink lots of milk, it's like an obsession, and my nails grow really quick & are real strong)

    I would just drink alot of milk. Milk usually causes the finger nails to grow.

    hmmm.... Well the only solution i know are female ones:

    There is a pill called NV that promotes hair and nail growth.

    There are nail polishes (clear coats, at least) that help nails grow, but you've got to already have a nail there.

    Sorry love.

    Cheers

    Well, I don't know what affect they have on men, but I do know prenatal vitamins make them grow twice as fast or so.
